Wow, super easy, five basic ingredients and they were perfect. I put a little ground pepper on top after cooking for a little bite. Could not be easier and they were awesome. Served them with homemade berry jam.

I LOVE this recipe! It's so easy and delicious. I always have all of the ingredients in my house. We like to use a star shaped cookie cutter and my daughter begs ne to make her "star biscuits".

I made these last night and they are awesome!!! I used unsalted butter and 2/3 cup of milk was enough. More than that made the dough wet and required more flour. Other than that, great buttery taste. A major hit with the family!!! I will definitely make these more often than the baking powder ones. I'm sure if other tops were brushed with melted butter it would be even tastier!!!!

My daughter and I made these one morning and they were very easy! I mixed and she rolled and cut. We dropped a little honey in the middle after they were cut for a little sweetness. She loved them!

I'm eating one as I type :). So good! I spread a little bit of butter and honey on top before I baked it. Also, I didn't roll them, I just shaped them with my hands.

I have made some very bad biscuits over the years and I was real not looking forward to trying yet another recipe just to be disappointed. Luckily I gave it a shot again because I finally did it! With this recipe which simply could not be any easier I made real biscuits and not doughy hockey pucks! I read some tips on this site from another recipe about handling the dough as little as possible and about cutting in the butter and those tips I believe helped a ton. The only thing I changed at all was I had to sub margarine for the butter because that's all I had and I also used buttermilk in one batch just to see how it would turn out. I also baked at 425°F because my oven is a bit hot. With buttermilk or without these came out fab. And one really would not expect much from such an easy recipe but I will be passing this on to everyone I know. A huge THANK YOU to the person who shared this recipe. I will never buy icky refrigerated biscuits again!

This recipe is great and so easy to do. It only takes a little bit of time. To kick this recipe up a notch I added some shredded cheddar into the dough (however much you like) and baked it. Then I made some garlic butter, just by sprinkling some garlic powder into a little butter, I brushed that on top of the biscuits while they were hot. They were amazing. Tasted like the biscuits from red lobster! :)

This was an awesome recipe. We made shepherds pie and realized we were missing the biscuits. This recipe was perfect. Thank you.

I made these and they turned out awesome. I did add 1/4 c of sugar to the recipe to make them sweeter. I also did not roll and cut them, i shaped them with my hands and it turned out great.
